    Regular milk soft serve with Hojicha syrup
    Shanna C.

    Came here on our most recent visit to Seattle. I do think it's worth trying out once, but I don't know if I will be back because there is so much other good soft serve in the area that actually tastes creamier. We got to regular milk soft serve with Hojicha syrup. I really liked that the Hojicha syrup was strong and complemented the soft serve well. Because of all the hype surrounding it, I was expecting the soft serve to be *extra* creamy and smooth which it unfortunately did not live up to my expectation. Parking in this area can be a little challenging to find during busy hours.

    Indigo Cow is one of the few dessert places in Bellevue open after 9 on weekdays (we visited on a Tuesday), so my friends and I stopped by for a sweet treat! I tried their seasonal yaki-imo (sweet potato) brulee soft serve and it was yummy. It wasn't too sweet and It would be nice to have this as a permanent menu item! My friend had the matcha Hokkaido milk swirl with mochi and she enjoyed it! I'll be back to try another new seasonal menu item.

    First time trying Indigo Cow and it was a little confusing as to where the shop was located. It is located inside of The Whale Tea right when you first walk inside. So, there are two separate counters: one for The Whale Tea and Indigo Cow. There are also two separate self-ordering kiosks for the two spots. You need to walk straight ahead to get to the self-ordering kiosks, or you can just order at the counters with the staff members. So, the layout is a little funky to me. Other than that, the shop is spacious for what it is. There is even shared outdoor seating. The menu is quite limited at Indigo Cow, which can be a pro and a con. It makes your choices less overwhelming at least! My boyfriend and I decided to do the swirl (Hokkaido Milk and Hōjicha) soft serve ice cream in the waffle cone with the Theo Dark Chocolate wall as the topping. The soft serve is good, but I think the flavors aren't that distinctive. I could hardly taste a difference between the two flavors.

    New location in Bellevue! Came here for the soft serve, it did not disappoint. You order at the front and they hand you your soft serve shortly after. The inside was cozy and had plenty of booth seating. I just traveled to Japan and the Hokkaido Milk soft serve tastes just like it did in Japan. Adding some local Theo dark chocolate made it an extra tasty treat. There are currently only 2 soft serve flavor options: Hokkaido Milk and Ceremonial Matcha.

    I would give Indigo Cow a 2.5/5. It wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. The lady at the counter was unwelcoming and not very pleasant, I was unsure what to order and she seemed like she was getting really impatient even though we were the only ones in line. It's really expensive. We paid $19 for my matcha soft serve + waffle cone + the MBR and a creme brulee soft serve. Both smalls. I understand you pay a higher price for the quality of ingredients but I think some things could have easily been better. Like, the waffle cone was soooo subpar like it was so thin that my soft serve kept melting through the tiny cracks. Also maybe I came at the wrong time but my mochi was a bit harder than I was expecting. The creme brûlée was also okay but nothing special. This place just seems a little sad. Maybe its the grumpy cashier or the dying thirsty plants on the walls but on the bright side, I really enjoyed my matcha soft serve, it had a great matcha flavor. But for the price, I think I'll go to a different matcha spot.

    Located inside of Whale Tea- shared space. Register is first one on right as you enter. *Size large hakkaido milk with MBR ( mochi, brown sugar syrup and roasted soybean powder) $8.31 after taxes. Flavor was creamy and good. Toppings were good, mochi soft. Service was good- I went back to ask for more brown sugar syrup and they hooked me up. Value- I can't go over inflammation so it felt expensive. Recommend- if you're in the area, and want a delicious soft serve treat- YES! Bonus- since it's inside of whale tea- we got boba tea too. So many sugar options.

    Excited to finally try this soft serve spot! It's been on my list for a really long time and the Bellevue location is super cute. They share a space with Whale Tea and it's located near a little parking lot. The inside has booth and plenty of seating to enjoy your drink or ice cream with friends. I got their vanilla soft serve and added their Halloween special for $2 more. The Halloween special came with a strawberry and pumpkin sauce which tasted amazing and had some fun little Halloween sprinkles and spooky decor. My husband got the mochi, brown sugar, and kinako powder on top of his vanilla soft serve and that was super tasty! Highly recommend this spot! It's probably our favorite soft serve in the Seattle area!

    My family and I visited the Indigo Cow in Wallingford during COVID when it was a walk-up window. We enjoyed it when we first tasted it and then saw that they had opened in Bellevue so we decided to try it out. It is located inside The Whale Tea Boba Shop and has its own counter right at the front door on the right when you first walk in. There aren't many choices when it comes to the menu. Only 3 flavors: hojicha, Hokkaido milk or swirl and then it's in either cup or cone. They have some toppings and we chose the injeolmi powder which is fine soybean powder. It was tasty, just as I remembered from our first visit. Parking is very tight here: mostly off street.

    Matcha Soft Serve and Yaki-imo Brulee Soft Serve

    We stopped by Indigo Cow in Seattle and tried the yaki-imo brulee soft serve and matcha soft serve in a cone. The yaki-imo was hands down amazing--I couldn't resist taking it from my fiancé! The warm, slightly hardened brûlée top combined with the cold, creamy soft serve created a perfect balance. This was one of the best desserts I had on my trip, and I'll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend if you're in Seattle and looking for something unique and delicious!

    Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve
    Helen C.

    My first introduction to Indigo Cow was to the location in downtown Seattle and although it was expensive, the quality truly impressed me as it was the closest to Hokkaido soft serve you could probably get out here. Thus, I was super excited to find a new location in Bellevue had opened with indoor seating! Unfortunately, this location provides a severely subpar experience. The milk soft serve didn't taste very creamy and that might have been because it was so completely freezer burned; it was to the point that you could feel the ice crystals with every bite. The dark chocolate wall was really nice quality chocolate and the waffle cone was solid, but I walked away from the experience with soft serve that was worse than McDonald's and 5-6 times the price. The store was at 50% capacity on a late Sunday afternoon and parking appears to mostly be along the street.

    Yaki-imo brulee and matcha/hokkaido swirl
    Cassandra H.

    The Indigo Cow is also combined with Whale Tea! We ordered the yaki-imo brulee soft serve and the swirl. I think the ice cream texture is lighter and less creamy than other ice creams. The matcha flavor was present without being overwhelming and the hokkaido milk is lightly sweet and creamy. I really liked the yaki-imo brulee topping because the sweet potato goes really well with the hokkaido milk ice cream and the brulee portion gave it crunch and a hint of smokiness. There is wifi and a couple of cute couches in the store, and the whale decor is very cute

    (Small) Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve with M.B.R. topping
    Laura G.

    An amazing soft serve experience! I'm so glad they opened a new location in Bellevue (sharing a space with The Whale Tea). The ordering process is extremely simple as they have a small menu. The soft serve is assembled quickly as well. Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve with M.B.R. Topping: The small size was enough for one person. The Hokkaido milk flavor was creamy and subtle, and the soft serve texture was very smooth. The M.B.R. topping was absolutely delicious! The flavors were amazing and the mochi was a good amount of chewiness. However, given the subtlety of the existing flavors, it would have been nice for the mochi to have some flavor cooked with it.

    We have been looking for soft serve places and finally tried Indigo Cow. We got the Hokkaido Milk and Ceremonial Matcha combo with dark chocolate. We got there close to closing time and they didn't have a lot of the dark chocolate sauce left (we could only get it on one serving, not on the 2nd one). I like the Hokkaido Milk soft serve, the Ceremonial Match not so much (I am not a fan of matcha).

    5 Star on just the Red Bean soup review…read more Meet Fresh was always just a fun place to meet, collab, and vibe for the nostalgia of Taiwan times, was just always meh on most their stuff. Much of the hot soups just had waaaaay too much stuff in them. But adding the red bean soup by itself without all the foo foo stuff maybe 2 years ago was very welcome, albeit it's buried deep in the menu to find. This was very welcome to see and their red bean soup was noteworthy for repeat visits. However, in the last 2 visits, not sure if they changed something in the recipe, the red bean soup is now TOP TIER. Top Tier for USA that is, and well, that's where we are right now. It's DELISH, pick 2 sides, so far always peanuts, and either almond pudding or black sesame ball have been just smile oozing good. So good it's almost always on our minds after a dinner somewhere that we have to stop in at the Bellevue Meet Fresh right after to finish the night. It's so gooooood! Just the red bean soup and 2 sides! Do it!!!!

    Came here on a sunny Friday afternoon and tried their $35 dessert set menu as part of Seattle…read moreRestaurant Week special offer! What a deal it is!! The SRW $35 deal comes with 2 drinks, 1 dessert, 1 mini signature, and 1 GIANT shave ice treat!! Got the strawberry and mango combo shave ice and the fruits are nice and fresh! One caveat - because the fruits are fresh, they won't be always on the sweet side and could occasionally be 'tart' (which goes well with the ice cream and the lightly syruped shave ice! If you don't like any tartness from the fresh fruits, I'd recommend ordering the brown sugar shave ice instead!! There was no wait at around 2:30 pm in the afternoon, and the service was fast and friendly! Also appreciate the ambiance and the sound tracks playing in the store!! Highly recommend!!!

    It was love at first scoop! We were completely over the (Molly) moon!…read more Molly Moon's is a local Seattle ice cream chain. From the cute, friendly branding and store to the long lines out front, it was all more than enough to draw us in. We got their Matcha Strawberry (a seasonal flavor) and Scout Mint Brownie. As a side note: every single flavor we sampled was divine. It was so hard to choose! The Matcha Strawberry actually tasted like its name. The green tea flavor was strong with bright notes of strawberry. The Scout Mint Brownie is probably my favorite rendition of a mint chocolate chip. The mint was fresh and bright with no green artificial coloring in sight. It came with generously sized chunks of brownies incorporated throughout. So good! The texture of Molly Moon's is stretchy and chewy which I appreciate. Our new go-to ice cream spot!

    I've been to this Molly Moon's several times, and I've finally run out of patience. I have noticed…read moresomething wrong 4 times out of the last 5 visits, which I think is a pretty bad rate. The ice cream is always delicious, but the staff here don't seem very well trained. Visit 1: We saw our server scoop the wrong flavor into our cup, realize that she scooped the wrong flavor, scoop that ice cream back into the source container, then scoop the correct flavor into the same cup (instead of discarding the old cup). I get that it's ice cream, but I feel that if the wrong ice cream flavor touches your cup, you should get a new cup in case you have a strong dislike of the incorrect flavor. Visit 2: We got our ice cream and were eating it while walking away, when we encountered a mint flavor inside our ice cream. The only problem: the flavor that we ordered had no mint. This makes me suspect that the staff are not doing a good job cleaning out the scooping tools in between flavors. Visit 3: After I paid for my ice cream, I wanted my receipt. However, when the tablet showed the receipt options, the server immediately pressed the no receipt option. After I told him that I wanted my receipt, he said that particular tablet cannot pull up old receipts, and I would have to wait until another tablet opened up. I ended up waiting 10-15 minutes just to get my receipt, and in the end, the manager came over and was able to send me a email copy of the receipt from the original tablet, which I was fine with from the start. This particular visit was a very frustrating experience - I should not have to wait that long just to get my receipt, all because the server incorrectly assumed that I did not need mine. The staff members should also be trained to retrieve and send receipts if the customers ask for them. Visit 4: Thankfully, this was a pleasant time. We came with our voting stickers, and received free scoops of ice cream. Pretty cool program that Molly Moon's has. Visit 5: The most recent time, I came in to buy a pint. I really like the system that Salt & Straw has where the pint fridge is next to the cashier, and if you get a pint, you don't have to wait in line. I got confirmation from the staff at Molly Moon's that they have a similar policy, but I first had to wait in line to get to the pint fridge, since the pint fridge is in the inner corner of the store, right next to where the line snakes around. Then, once I got my pint, I went up to the cashier, but they don't have anyone stationed there, so I had to wait for the staff members to finish helping their current customers. This ended up taking me 3-5 minutes of standing around with the melting pint. This store should have a better system for people who are just purchasing pints, such as relocating the pint fridge or stationing someone at the cashier. Overall, I've been disappointed by this location too many times now, and I hope that they improve the way they run the store.

We are both a fan of ice cream so we were excited to find this place. The menu is pretty simple which makes ordering simple too. There are several ways to get your soft serve but we decided to get the soft serve with the upside down taiyaki which was so good! You can choose your soft serve with just one flavor but they offer a mix too. You can also choose what filling the taiyaki has. I chose the strawberry and matcha mix soft serve and then I chose a matcha cream filling. You are also able to add toppings after and I went with a Biscoff topping. The soft serve was not overly sweet and the flavors blended super well. The taiyaki was also nice and crisp and the cream filling was perfect.

The ice cream and taiyaki tasted good and were comparable in flavor and quality to other SomiSomi locations I've visited. The food definitely met expectations and was the highlight of the experience.
